8.11. JOnAS Database Mapping (Specific Deployment Descriptor)
You can specify the mapping to the database of Entity Beans and their relationships in the
JOnAS-specific deployment descriptor, in
jonas-entity
elements, and in
jonas-ejb-relation
elements. Since JOnAS is able to generate the database mapping, all the elements of the
JOnAS-specific deployment descriptor defined in this section (which are sub-elements of
jonas-entity
or
jonas-ejb-relation
) are optional, except those for specifying the datasource
and the initialization mode (that is, the
jndi-name
of
jdbc-mapping
and
cleanup
). The default
values of these mapping elements, provided in this section, define the JOnAS-generated database
mapping.
8.11.1. Specifying and Initializing the Database
To specify the database within which a CMP 2.0 Entity Bean is stored, use the
jndi-name
element
of the
jdbc-mapping
. This is the JNDI name of the DataSource representing the database storing
the Entity Bean.
F
jdbc-mapping
G
F
jndi-name
G
jdbc_1
F
/jndi-name
G
F
/jdbc-mapping
G
For a CMP 2.0 Entity Bean, the JOnAS-specific deployment descriptor contains an additional element,
cleanup
, to be specified before the
jdbc-mapping
element. The
cleanup
element can have one of
the following values:
removedata
At bean loading time, delete the content of the tables storing the bean data
removeall
At bean loading time, drop the tables storing the bean data (if they exist) and re-create them
none
Do nothing
create
Default value (if the element is not specified). At bean loading time, create the tables for storing
the bean data (if they do not exist).
It may be useful for testing purposes to delete the database data each time a bean is loaded. To do
this, the part of the JOnAS-specific deployment descriptor related to the Entity Bean may look like
the following:
F
cleanup
G
removedata
F
/cleanup
G
F
jdbc-mapping
G
F
jndi-name
G
jdbc_1
F
/jndi-name
G
F
/jdbc-mapping
G
